Given : 1 out of 5 students voted for soccer.

So, 4 out of 5 students voted for basketball.

So, the ratio of the students voted for basketball = 4/5

There were a total of 25 votes.

So, the total number of the students voted for basketball =


=(4)/(5)\cdot25=(100)/(5)=20

So, the answer is 20 students voted for basketball
